General Orders No. No. 125, W.D., 1918
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Philip Roberge, Private, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near Belleau, France, July 18, 1918. Private Roberge showed absolute disregard of personal danger while acting as litter bearer, bringing in wounded from his own and other companies under heavy machine-gun and artillery fire. While carrying a stretcher, which bore a wounded soldier, he received a wound which put out one of his eyes, yet he continued until the wounded man had been taken to the dressing station.
